PREVENTING BEDBUGS DURING HOLIDAY TRAVEL

10/30/2011 Preventing Bedbugs During Holiday Travel: Tips To Stay Bedbug Free

The holidays are a time for celebration, gift-giving and visiting with family
and friends. Travel wisely this winter to ensure that you do not bring any
unwanted visitors, such as bed bugs, back home with you.

Once thought to be a thing of the past, bed bug populations have increased by
approximately 500 percent in the United States in recent years, according to
Congress’ “Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite” Act of 2009. Bed bugs spread by hitching
a ride on travelers’ possessions, and with our highly mobile society, bed bugs
have been able to spread quickly across the United States. This makes it
important for travelers to educate themselves on bed bugs. Becoming familiar
with the bug, its habits and methods of detecting, treating and preventing an
infestation is an essential and effective first step.

The facts on bed bugs:

Identification: Bed bugs are easily identifiable if you know what you are
looking for. They are small, but still large enough to see. These pests are
flat, oval and wingless, with antennae and six legs. Adults are 5 millimeters
long, about the same size and color of an apple seed. Eggs are the size of a pin
head,colorless and incredibly hard to see.

What attracts bed bugs: Bed bugs are attracted to warmth and carbon dioxide from
people and animals. They feed at night for about five minutes every three to
seven days. Bed bugs usually reside within five feet of a food source, but can
travel up to 100 feet to find a meal.

Lifespan: A bed bug will live for approximately three to nine months if well
fed, but can survive for six months or more without feeding. Females can lay as
many as five eggs per day – or up to 200 in their lifetime.

Travel wisely:

Travel lightly and do not bring your own bedding or pillows when visiting a
hotel. Take a few minutes upon arrival to inspect your surroundings. Here is a
list of recommendations on the way to inspect your accommodation before settling
in for the night.

When entering a hotel room:

2. Exhale gently across the top and sides of the headboard.

4. Using your flashlight, inspect the rolled seams at the top and bottom edges
of the mattress at each corner, looking for bed bugs, spotting or cast skins.

6. Look at the edge of the carpet and baseboard under the corners of the bed to
inspect for spotting and cast skins. Put the corners back together.

8. Using your flashlight, inspect the skirting along the bottom of the bed,
looking for bed bugs, spotting and cast skins within the inside folds of the
fabric.

10. Inspect the portable luggage rack looking for signs of bed bugs.

Upon return from travel, place all items that may have been exposed (including
suitcase when possible) into the dryer, and place on high heat for 15 minutes.

With just a little preparation and some caution, holiday travel can be relaxing
and you can rest assured that you will return home without any uninvited pests.
